parking police powers

[DLuded]

a "mate" of mine got a parking ticket 2day and got a little pissed off becaues as he was approaching his car the parking police women was writing out the fine. after saying a few kind words to the police women, he got in his car was while he was leaving he spun the wheel of his car (and knows now that it was a stupid idea). can the police officer do anything? like send a fine for neg driving or anything?

Was it a Police officer or a parking inspector ?

If it was a police officer then yes. If a parking inspector then I'm not sure.

i think it was a parking inspector...hopefully it was

Im a little confused with what Im about to say, so dont take it as gospel. But I think if you actually hop into your car as the inspector is still writing you a ticket and drive off they cannot give you a ticket. You have until they push the button [on the electronic ticket processors] until that ticket is vaild.

Again, Im not sure if that is entirely true or if it just applies to certain states. Thanks Ray Martin and your 'special investigation' into parking tickets a few years back on ACA.

yeah i thought that was true aswell so i tried to get in my car fast and as i turned the key the ticket wsa put under my wiper...not happy jan

[SKYL9]

that might be the law (i dont know).. but if you drive off b4 they give you the fine you just get the over due notice in the mail...

btw, i just heard on the radio tonite...Parkin officers can actually do 3 things in relation to the distribution of the fine.

1. Give it straight to the driver

2. Put it on the WindScreen

3. And they can mail it to your address, if they have your plates...

I wouldn't worry, she didn't have a witness.

As soon as they start to write the ticket its yours.

If they havent started writing the ticket, then you can talk them out of it.

if that was parking inspector---

a. yes you will get parking fine if she already wrote the ticket

if that was Police officer

a. yes you will get parking fine.

b. possible to get charged with "reckless driving or Creating undue excessive noise"

c. or if he said kind word like "F*CKING HELL YOU #@$% #$^#$^ $#%$^& @#$%" charge with verbal assault and interfering of carry out her (police) Duties...

LOL, be more clear about the situation so we can tell you.

cheers

they will definetly mail it to u if you drive away while they are writing it, it happened to me a maquarie uni about 2 years ago.

also my dad got a fine in the mail for stopping in a no stopping zone at haymarket, he was in the car, and he saw the woman writing it out from across the road!!

so if they are writing it out and u are not successful in talking them out of it... just take it with u..

Your points B & C aren't really true. She can't do anything unless she had a reliable witness (i.e. another officer). I speak from personal experience.

Macquarie Uni is a Parking Ticket Galore...

u can get away with parking in a no standing, no stopping or not buyin a ticket anywhere in the city etc. etc.

but not at macq uni..

if u dun have a parking permit and u didnt buy a ticket.....the parkin officers pounce on ur straighta way...........farkkkk ive heard so many people gettin tickets from tehre lol

[unwritten law]

yeah its true (in qld) when the officer is writing out the ticket thats it. If you drive off, expect to see it in the mail.

A funny story, a few years ago my mate was at uni and he was late for a lecture so he parked in a spot where he didnt have a proper permit and he put a ticket that he got a week before under his windscreen wiper so it looked like he was already booked. It didnt work lol....

well I got a parking fine from the council, I parked in a no stopping area and there were some council guys in a yard and a month later I got a reminder letter about the fine.

So the guy will get a fine, I'm not sure if a parking inspector can fine for bad driving but what you could expect is a dearer parking fine for it, or a couple of fines.

I don't really think you could talk them out of writing out a fine, as they probably wouldn't make some quota that some places have you get some extra money for it, that was on ACA.

you'll find it hard to get out of the fines as parking fines are a cuncil thing and not a police thing, so you'd have to deal with the local cuncil and they'd probably just take it to court etc to get extra cash out of you.
